Challenges in Facility Management Industry-

Facility Management industry is facing the biggest challenge of manpower availability, which means lack of professionals to do the assigned tasks. Keeping up with rapid growth and development requires thorough training and time for professionals. Though there’s sufficient unskilled manpower, the first problem that facility management services face is to train unskilled manpower to adapt to systems and processes for running professional Facility Management service. The second problem is to hold onto manpower as unskilled staff switch jobs very often.

Another challenge today is acceptance of unorganized players in the Facility Management industry focusing on 1-2 services like Housekeeping in Pune or pest control, whereas the majority of the market is still ready to accept organised service at low cost. This hinders sector’s organisational aspects as most small players do not abide by statutory compliance and insurances offering services at low cost as compared to organised players.

Technology & Automation – Technology plays a vital role in the way FM clients are serviced and businesses are running. Procedures used in facility management services are capturing & analysing data through training and operations, performance rating module giving employees’ reports on basis of work quality, knowledge, attendance, and training needs. Keeping a check on equipment and machinery performance gives a clear understanding of the service results on a regular basis, and extrapolate analytics and insights providing a detailed analysis of the site related to site performance, client feedback, employees’ performance and training needs. The FM industry is gradually shifting toward more automated service delivery, with companies offering technology-based platforms.
